Glucose vs Fat as Fuel: How the Body Chooses
How the body prioritizes glucose, glycogen, fat, and ketones—and why metabolic health depends on the ability to shift smoothly between these fuels.

Removing carbohydrates doesn’t starve the body—it shifts fuel use. Here’s how glucose, fat, and ketones power energy when carbs disappear.
What actually happens in your body when you eat carbohydrates—from digestion and insulin release to how glucose is used, stored, or converted based on metabolic context.
Insulin isn’t the enemy. It’s your body’s energy coordinator—keeping blood sugar safe, directing fuel to tissues, and revealing stress when resistance develops.
Metabolism explained: learn how your body uses carbs, fat, and protein for energy, storage, repair, and fuel switching across real-life conditions.
Simple, complex, and refined carbs aren’t as different as you think. Learn how carb types really affect blood sugar, insulin, and metabolism.
